I enjoy writing to penpals and have several snail mail friends of 20+ years standing but would love to have some new friends that I can email regularly. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy, have seen UFOs and am really interested in space and what might be out there. I like gardening and animals and have a dog. Photographing nature is another passion. I am also interested in Gemology, fossils & amber (little time capsules). I collect/make Teddy Bears. Love art and want to learn to do water colours. I also take an interest in politics.
